    Nursing shouldn't have been a degree. It was ridiculous. That's debt I didn't need. An apprenticeship would have been Better. We wouldn't need to rely on foreign nurses. Its hard to understand how country ran 30 years ago with all these skilled migrants

    Great wheeze to make students pay for their adult education. Instead of investing in our future by paying for university education, push students into debt, since signing up for further education has saved billions in unemployment and housing benefits. As jobs disappear to robots and AI, there would not have been jobs for them and even less are available since and future years.

    It'll be interesting to see how A.I effects higher education, as it progresses toward super intelligence. Will it be worth your while going to university, when A.I becomes more capable than any human?

    More fool lenders who give out loans to immature kids who've just left school, have no prior work experience, and show no moral responsibility in paying the money back because all they've ever done is sponge off the bank of mum and dad 😂😡

    That's funny, someone who did film and media studies in Stirling thinks they can give advice about going to uni…what a total donkey.

    If so many people have gone to university for there to be that much debt, then why is society so stupid? What were they paying for?

Andy Burnham accused of RUNNING AWAY from media scrutiny

Published

on

By



Kemi Badenoch has accused Andy Burnham – the likely next Prime Minister – of “running away” from proper media scrutiny, as prepares to take part in an “ask me anything” session on Reddit.

The Conservative leader claims Burnham is choosing to use the online social media forum because it’s “easier” than facing what she called “unbiased, neutral media scrutiny”.
